When a client asked for blue orchids, I had to get creative.

A customer wanted bright blue orchids for a party last week. I used floral dye and the results were surprisingly vibrant. What do you do when faced with unusual color demands?

Did you use a spray dye or dip the stems in colored water? I used to be totally against dyeing flowers, thought it always looked cheap and tacky. But seeing how vibrant yours turned out, it actually makes me rethink that for special requests. What was the client's reaction when they saw the final product?

Read that dip dyeing makes colors more vibrant.

For a client's Miami wedding, I dipped white roses in cobalt blue dye. They wanted ocean themed centerpieces and the color held up really well for three days. Stoked to see @miles_perez is coming around to dye jobs, they can look fire when done right.
